Product Description
600V rated stranded, topcoat wire. Perfect for new projects or rewiring any electrical equipment.
Topcoat = Stranded bare copper wire that has been run through a tin bath, effectively permeating/coating the entire length of the stranded wire. The result is a stranded wire that acts/feels like solid core wire because the strands have been bonded along the entire length of the wire. Due to its incredible stability and ease of use, it is a fantastic choice for amps, pedals, and instruments alike.
Sold as a roll of 50 feet.
IMPORTANT REFERENCE - Stranded Wire Types
Tinned, Stranded = Copper conductors that have been coated with tin, and then the tinned strands are twisted together. The strands are NOT bonded together. This is the most commonly used wire in our industry.
A select minority of parts suppliers sell stranded wire that has been fully bonded/coated along its entire length and only label it as "tinned" or "pre-tinned" wire. That is NOT the correct title for that type of wire. If that's what you're looking for, you need to search for "topcoat" wire.
Topcoat = Stranded bare copper wire that has been run through a tin bath, effectively permeating/coating the entire length of the stranded wire. The result is a stranded wire that acts/feels like solid core wire because the strands have been bonded along the entire length of the wire. This was previously less common in our industry, only being used by select manufacturers (Hi-Watt being the most notable). But, it has been growing in popularity in recent years, especially among the guitar wiring crowd.

The Best Choice
I will never EVER buy any other wire ever again. You could stop reading here, but if you want a little more detail continue. The shielding is fantastic and doesn't melt the second you put a solder iron to the bare wire 2mm away. Working with the topcoat is infinitely better than plain stranded as it works like a solid core but without the fear of breaking that comes with solid. Other than that, what more can I really say about wire.. uh, it's pretty?? Next Gen carry all the colours of the rainbow and then some. Seriously, for hookup wire, don't ever think about anything else.

Excellent hookup wire
No more twisting off stripped insulation to keep the strands together! In terms of downsides, the insulation is a bit thicker than I'm used to, and it is more expensive than normal stranded. But you get what you pay for. As a hobbyist, this is pretty much guaranteed to make my wiring so much neater.
